Cinemas

London's cinemas worth crossing town for: the repertory and arthouse houses, the picture palaces kept going, the one IMAX, and the rooms above pubs and behind bars where the programme is somebody's taste. What is showing is listed under each cinema, and in What's On.

Cine Lumiere

Two screens inside the Institut francais, and the place in London for French and European film.

Repertory & seasonsNew releases

It shows new French and European releases, many of them exclusive to it, alongside UK premieres, classics, documentaries and children's films, and builds seasons on top - a retrospective given to one actor across a whole career, a national cinema, a festival. The London Spanish Film Festival runs here, and there are strands for families.

What separates it from a cinema that simply subtitles is the talking. Directors, actors, academics and critics are brought on stage after screenings as a matter of routine rather than as an occasional event, and a good part of the programme is built around somebody being in the room to answer for the film.
